Cataclysm flight paths transfer at 434 percent of the running speed
Since World of Warcraft Cataclyssm, flight paths transfer at 434% of your running speed. That’s significantly faster than the speed that your unbuffed Master Flying can achieve. However, flight paths do sometimes take unnecessary turns on their way to the final destination, so it’s important to know which path you should use based on your preferred mount.
Changes to classic flight path maps
The Flight Path map of World of Warcraft can be used to navigate the game’s various regions. It shows the routes taken by players as they fly from zone to zone. The map is divided into Alliance and Horde flight paths. The Alliance flight path has additional locations that you can land in. The Horde flight path shows more of the world. It is easy to find these locations, especially because of the new color code.
The game’s developers have fixed some problems with the classic flight path map. The main problem was the timer window. The beta version has been updated with the fix. Additionally, the flight path map now includes boss nameplates. There are other changes coming soon, such as an enhanced world map and horde/aligned filters. You can find out more about the changes in the patch notes below.
Horde destinations
If you’re a Night Elf, you may not have noticed that the Horde has an outpost in Desolace. The flight path for Night Elves has moved here from the old Night Elf outposts in Durotar, Orgrimmar, and Azshara. This outpost is known as Valormok. The Horde also has two neutral flight masters: Kip Tralwskip and Surristrasz.
While the Hinterlands are largely unfinished, there is a small Horde outpost in the Stonetalon Mountains. This outpost contains unique vendors and trainers. For those interested in herb farming, the area is great for herb-growing. There are a variety of interesting local quests to complete here. The map includes both Horde and Alliance destinations. There are two different flight paths from each faction.
In addition to using the Alliance and Horde flight paths, the Alliance and Horde have several ships that leave ports around the world. For Alliance flight paths, the Alliance ships leave from Rut’theran Village and Auberdine. The Alliance ships are neutral, which means that the Horde can use them if they choose. The Classic Alliance route includes the Menethil Harbor and Rut’theran Village. The retail Alliance route does not include the Menethil-Auberdine route.
Alliance destinations
You might be wondering where Alliance destinations appear on the World of Warcraft flight path maps. These maps generally focus on the main hubs of both factions, with Horde locations and Undead-controlled zones not being represented. Fortunately, the Alliance does have a few places to land on the maps that are open to the Alliance. For instance, in the Outland region, there are Alliance boat routes to Rut’theran in Teldrassil and Menethil Harbor in the Eastern Kingdoms. Another Alliance boat route is to Theramore Isle in Kalimdor. You may even find yourself landing in an enchanting realm with this extra boat!
In Northrend, both sides have covered the first three zones. Alliance uses Wind Rider to get around, while Horde relies on flying mounts until they reach level 77. There are also zone-specific information below the cut. For instance, the Alliance has five FPs in Howling Fjord, whereas the Horde has five FPs in the region. Horde FPs appear circled in red, while neutral locations are highlighted in yellow.
